Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

MODERATORS
I'm happy to explain to you why you're wrong to be anti-choice. Don't pretend like conservatives don't love to shit talk about liberals. I've seen it too. If you have something you want to talk about, then talk. Don't ask me to feel sorry, unless you're going to feel sorry for me, first.
I'm open to hearing your argument, but as you can imagine, as a conservative on lemmy/reddit I've heard every argument, and it's made me more refined in my belief, and more able to argue my belief well.
I didn't. but generally no, I don't see conservatives talk trash about liberals, nor liberals conservatives. I see Republicans and Democrats talk trash, but I don't equate them to conservatives and liberals.
Okay. I'm pro-life, you calling me anti-choice is an absurd mischaracterization of my argument, and you know it. You just try to name call instead of actually put forward your position. If you have a good argument, you don't need to resort to such childish and rude comments.
Additionally, my argument is, just because I'm pro life doesn't mean I want to enslave women.
If you'd like to discuss either of these in good faith, and without being a dick, I'm down.
I called you anti-choice because it's accurate. It would be inaccurate to call you pro-life when we do not agree, yet I myself am in favor of life and living. It misrepresents my position when I agree to call you pro-life. It gives the impression that I am not pro-life because I am opposed to your position. So, I choose to label you accurately. If I'm pro-choice, that makes you anti-choice. If I'm pro-autonomy, you're anti-autonomy. Which do you prefer?
That's not an argument. Also, it doesn't matter about your feelings about whether your actions are good or not. What matters is the impact it has, in reality. In reality, your positions have the effect of harming women. It matters not at all, that you want to pat yourself for believing you don't want to enslave women. You don't have to believe you are enslaving women to do harm. You just have to actually enslave them, which, in effect, you are supporting.
It's more accurate to call me 'pro-baby lives,' which would make you 'anti-baby lives' which is a bold stance. If you want to play dumb games like that instead of civilly discussing, I'm fine with that. But I won't converse with someone that continues to be this uncivil and rude.
You don't civily discuss. I've asked you to tell me what is wrong with the argument from bodily autonomy. You will not. I've had, I think, 4 replies with you since then. Just like I thought, just like the other conservatives, you will not discuss. You have no discussion. You have no argument. Your tactics are manipulation and misdirection. That's why you have words and words to say about every little tangential topic, but nothing to say about bodily autonomy.
Okay, then we don't need to discuss if you feel that way.
Pro-lifers don't discuss. They rally the troops. It's mindless, because if they had to think about their position, they couldn't hold it.
